posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Series based on Hazuki Takeoka, Tiv's manga premieres on January 5

The official website of the television anime of Hazuki Takeoka and Tiv's Masamune-kun's Revenge (Masamune-kun no Revenge) manga began streaming the anime's first promotional video on Thursday. The video introduces the show's characters.

The anime will premiere on Tokyo MX on January 5, and will also air on the AT-X and BS Fuji channels.

The cast includes:

Natsuki Hanae as Masamune Makabe

Ayaka Ōhashi as Aki Adagaki

Inori Minase as Yoshino Koiwai

Suzuko Mimori as Neko Fujinomiya

Azusa Tadokoro as Tae Futaba

Saori Hayami as Kojūrō Shuri

Ohashi will perform the anime's opening theme as her character Aki Adagaki. ChouCho (Hyōka, Girls und Panzer) will perform the ending theme song.

Mirai Minato (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya) is directing the series at SILVER LINK. Michiko Yokote (Shirobako, ReLIFE, Dagashi Kashi) is supervising the show's scripts, and is also penning them alongside Kento Shimoyama (Good Luck Girl!, Servant × Service, Shomin Sample). Yuki Sawairi (Yuri Kuma Arashi, Girl Friend BETA animation director) is designing the characters for animation. Toshiki Kameyama (Kan Colle, Kiznaiver) is in charge of sound direction. Lantis is credited as music producer.

Seven Seas Entertainment has licensed the manga in North America, and it describes the story:

As an overweight child, Makabe Masamune was mercilessly teased and bullied by one particular girl, Adagaki Aki. Determined to one day exact his revenge upon her, Makabe begins a rigorous regimen of self-improvement and personal transformation.

Years later, Masamune re-emerges as a new man. Handsome, popular, with perfect grades and good at sports, Masamune-kun transfers to Aki's school, and is unrecognizable to her. Now, Masamune-kun is ready to confront the girl who bullied him so many years ago and humiliate her at last. But will revenge be as sweet as he thought?

Writer Takeoka and female Korean artist Tiv (Heaven's Memo Pad manga) launched the series in Ichijinsha's Monthly Comic Rex magazine in 2012. Ichijinsha shipped the manga's seventh compiled volume in Japan on June 27. Seven Seas released the manga's second volume in English on September 13.
